Light And Darkness
Light seems brightest when seen in the darkest dark.
Yet darkness can be all but eliminated by the brightness of light.
When in a balanced contrast, each is often seen clearer.
Although their differences when compared are quite stark,
Both darkness and light have the potential to provide great insight.
Each has qualities that can make things seem dearer.
Once while...

The Bird With VertigoIt’s too high, far too high, I cannot look down at the floor’
Said the bird who realised she suffered from vertigo
‘But it’s only a bird bath’ this really is too silly
Said her impatient friend, who by now was rather chilly.
‘Why me, why me? I can’t believe it’s happened to me!’
Said the bird to her friend,...

Writing with the MasterLike the strokes of an artist’s brush
Painting a self-portrait of my life
The colors are people, events, and experiences
Each stroke flows into the next creating the picture
A step back is needed at times
To observe the full scope of life
To include the essence of my being
Expressing all aspects as one
Without the help of the master creator
I cannot...

Perennial winnerI am a perennial winner
Cause I refuse to be a loser
I am programmed for victory
And I vehemently refuse to walk by sight
Nor by what my circumstances look like
For what is seen is temporary
I refuse to allow my situation
To dictate the direction of my prayer or confession
For I can not...

If Wisdom Was A PictureIf wisdom was a picture, how beautiful she’d be.
Words melting into hues, in perfect harmony.
Truth revealed for all to see in reflective symmetry.
Like rhythmic waves flowing in an open sea.

THE SPARK AND THE FLAMEThe Spark and the Flame
It’s easy to rise when the fire is new,
To chase bold dreams the moment they brew.
But sparks burn quick, and passion may tire,
Without the fuel of steady fire.
Discipline walks where impulse fades,
Through winding roads and shadowed shades.
Consistency, the thread unseen,
That stitches the path where goals are led,
And makes dream come true...

Sisterhood of Scars: now with audio
Each wound I have suffered in my life so far
Has taken so long to form a battle scar
But what doesn't kill me, they say, will make me stronger still
And every wound I suffer will eventually heal
Pre-chorus:
This is the silent language of scars
You can read my soul like Braille
And for each sad story, for every sad...

The Shimmer BeneathRattled into action,
I’m no damsel in a tower.
I’m Sleeping Beauty, grown—
not rescued,
just rested.
Wrapped in gratitude,
a quiet kiss waiting.
So I crush every mistake,
every “no,”
every moment I felt less than—
they were the broth
that brined my spine,
seasoned my soul.
I do not recount sorrows
steeped in regret.
I do not carve my psyche
with clever metaphors.
I do not dance
through the dust of...
